Hernia Operation

[jnuts]

My wife had one today... (she's sleeping now, all zonked out on Lortabs)

Anybody else had one? How long before you could exercise again?

I have a belly button hernia and it is getting worse. The doctor told me to avoid getting surgery on it until it gets in the way to the point where I have to have surgery since the surgery will hurt and keep me from working out for awhile.

He said 3 to 6 weeks depending on the severity of it.
Not really sure how great he was, but I still have the hernia and it doesn't bother me all of the time - but it is getting worse - not really sure (other than pain) of what to look for in terms of "okay, now is time for surgery"

That's what she had - we think it popped 3 years ago during/after the birth of our son. Her gut go huuuuuuge with him. Anyways, it kept getting bigger and more painful, so she finally had it fixed. The surgery was only about 45 mins... but she sure is feeling like shit right now.
